Oy... that really was the funniest episode yet. Everything was cut a bit short because of the boat thing, but the boat thing was awesome. Loved the part where Hammond (and then Jeremy) flipped over. Hammond's idea was probably best, although it needed way more bouyancy for that much weight. Also, a bigger motor. James' boat probably could've used a motor as well, but, then again, it is a sailboat. What was with the Gaytime magazine, though?

Funny episode.

But for whatever reason it seemed really short.

Oh my that had to be the funniest episode ever. The amphibian bit was amazing. I literally had tears in my eyes at many points.

I quite liked this episode, although the Amphibian Car thing seemed a bit like Junkyard Wars or Monster Garage, it was still funny. A pitty Richard didn't do a better job waterproofing his vehicle (and hit the prop on the ramp) I thought it had promise. James chose a novel approach to the challenge, but he was wrong on one critical point. Many small sailboats designed to be trailered have removable centerboards instead of a fixed keel - I know this because I ran one aground and lifted the centerboard to get out of the mud. I was slightly annoyed by James saying sailing was boring since I love it - he should be thankful it was boring for him, with any more wind he would have either capsized or just been blown sideways with no controll.

I already identified a couple songs from this episode - any idea when we will have a thread up for that?

Funny, not really informative though.

However, what is it with the repeating parts in the 700mb files? That's the second time this has happened and I have no idea why. Never happened before, why now?

And stop asking leacher/seeder questions. You'll get it when it's ready, so stop being impatiant.

I have to say this season has proved to be a very good one thus far. Can't wait to see what else they have in store for us.

*sigh* There are over 1000 seeds, it's just that you're only connected to 1. And you don't need to connect to any seeds to download. Leechers upload too - that's the whole point of BitTorrent. images/smilies/wink.gif

Bwaahahaha, the boats were hillarious images/smilies/lol.gif Nice Gay Times touch, too.

I was actually surprised that the GT kept up with the Lotus (ok somewhat), I fugured this would be a total ownage.

On another note, the show, interesting and funny as it is, is slowing down a bit, or is it just me. Boats we cool as all hell but at times seemed a bit stretched for content and not much else happening beyond that (and Lotus run). Seems like old shows had so much stuff packed in them I just watched one from 2004 just to be sure.

Thanks for the 425MB rip. Only a bit more time downloading but quality visibly improved.
